• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter (for the rice) with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook garlic paste until fragrant, 1 minute. Add basmati rice, water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Thinly slice red onion and chives. Slice lime into wedges. • Finely chop tomato and cucumber. • In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and set aside. • Drain slow-cooked chicken breast. Transfer to a bowl, then roughly shred.
TIP: Use an extra large bowl or two bowls to shred the slow-cooked chicken breast.
• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add chicken, peri-peri seasoning and the butter (for the chicken), and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, stir through sweet chilli sauce, a squeeze of lime juice and a splash of water. Season.
TIP: Cook chicken in batches for best results.
• Divide rice between bowls. • Top with peri-peri pulled chicken and fresh salsa. • Crumble over fetta cubes and drizzle with garlic aioli. • Garnish with spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
